I'm beginning to think that the person doing my jab must have missed completely. I literally didn't feel it, had no bruise and no side effects.

Same for me. I've had some dodgy pricks overt the years (stop sniggering) usually by junior doctors and whenever I've joked about it the nurses have alwasy said it's well known that doctors are useless at injections and taking blood.

Looks like booking is open for the 55-59 age group in many places. Wife and her sister both in that group got booked in the next few days, Warwickshire/Derby.

Just booked mine for the 19th March and the second 12 weeks later.
Strangely, it's 56-59 year olds in my area, which explains why Mrs Rangercol, who is 55 hadn't heard yet I suppose.
Very easy to book and well laid out information.

It's at Oxford's Kassam Stadium!!

To be fair it’s not that difficult giving an IM injection. Let’s be honest, if I can do it then a well trained chimp could also do it.

Strolls as it’s going into your muscle I’d think it would be pretty hard to miss......You won’t always bruise and possibly won’t have any side effects. Think yourself lucky mate :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
Meanwhile the excess deaths of the last year have lowered the state pension bill by £1.5bn over two years, but disability payments are likely to cost £500m more due to the impact of long COVID and pandemic related mental health issues.

Got to be worth a “Tories Slash Pensions Deficit” headline and a couple more points in the polls.

Covid in Scotland: Rules on people meeting outdoors are eased

Up to four adults from two different households will be able to meet outdoors in Scotland from Friday of this week, it has been confirmed.

The current rules only allow outdoor meetings between two adults from two households.

Restrictions on young people will also be eased, with four people aged between 12-17 able to meet even if they are all from different households.

Outdoor non-contact group sports for adults will also restart on Friday.

And people will be able to gather for communal worship from Friday 26 March.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the "modest" easing was the result of the progress the country was making in supressing the virus.
